What are people’s thoughts here? I could understand removing all the lolly flavours and regulating like other tobacco products. I am an ex-smoker but I personally feel like this is govt over-reach. That might be an out-dated mindset of my time & generation (genX), however. So I’m interested to get some insight into how the broader population view this issue, particularly the younger generations, in both an overall opinion, but also in regards to such govt controls of recreational substances vs an individual’s right of freedom to choose.

They unfortunately seem to thing my curiosity represents some hostility

Last time we had a disagreement you labelled me obtuse, asked if I was thick, then called me a “right wing troll” who was interacting in “bad faith”. In this thread you asked for sources, asked for more sources, refused to read any of them and instead repeatedly deflected with a whataboutism. So no, I don’t think you’re “just curious” and I think it is pretty understandable why I would disengage from the conversation when you appear to be taking it down exactly the same route again.
